got out today with one of my buddies! his first time out this year! caught a bunch of bass today.... I probably caught about 15 he probably caught 8-9! but the carp were going nuts.... hmmm that describes it well... they were spawning and if anyone has ever seen carp spawning they thrash the water in the shallows! well I happened to see one later on down the shore I was throwing a spinnerbait and thought why not! yeah snagged it right in the tail! half hour later we got about a 35-40 lb carp.... best I could guess at least... I don't catch fish that big too often so judging a fish of that caliber is hard to do! it was heavier than a couple of my nieces! lol....here are some pics! some of the bass were REAL fat too!
here are my buddies biggest of the day!

Why would you snag such a beatiful carp? What did it do to deserve that? You are the kind of person that I call the game wardens on. You not only snagged it, but are proud enough about it to post pictures with it!
Why not snag a carp???? It's not illegal. Why do you snag other species in the mouth??? I would think that it would be less painful to have a hook in my leg then in my mouth.

Johnboy is right guys. There is nothing illegal about snagging the carp so let's not attack anyone in a morality debate. I don't believe Jiggin'fool's intent on posting was to discuss everyone's view on whether the snagging law is "right" or not.

By the way Jiggin'fool those are some great pictures and it sounds like you had a great day. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

thanks for the defense guys! and do you know how hard it is to snag a carp and actually get it in! probably a lot harder than throwing some corn or bread out and sitting there waiting for it to swim by! you cant snag them in any part of their bodies do to the thick scales, so you have to get them in a fin or the mouth! and the hook fell right out when i touched it.... put the fish back and he swam off! don't be jealous of my big fish now! lol! im j/k! so what do you say about the people that bow fish them???? maybe those are the guys you should be attacking! anyway! we did have a good day and it was a beautiful warm day to boot! what has ohio come to with all this sunshine! (maybe I shouldnt have said that) hope to get out again sometime this week! saw a lot of real fat bellies on some of the bass!

Alright crum, you win.....like you said in your little "walleye are not panfish" thread its not illegal to keep small walleye in mosquito and it pisses ya off when you see people keeping em...... and snagging a carp isn't illegal but it pisses ya off when people do it..... well it looks like your fishing ethics are just way better than anyone elses.... so everyone all at once now bow down to the "holier than thou" CRUMDFARGO!!!!!!!!!!!(hope you could taste my sarcasm... hard to express it over the computer..... just so you know I was laying it on pretty thick) you just sound very bitter all the way around.... and a little too pissed off.... the way I see it, it's better to be pissed off then pissed on! oh now I am just talking stupid... but thats right we already heard a whole bunch of stupid talk when you decided to post your thoughts! have a nice day!!!!!!!!

Oh my! I can't belive the the tree huggers are getting POed about snaging a Carp.......

What next time you see me with a bow in my hand on the water you gona start throwing carp bait at me? I have had just about enough of the winey little ...... around here. Just because people do it diferently than you or keep a fish the world is coming to an end well by god Ill have a full belly when it happens, however I catch the fish............. the OGF staff can pull my post It doesnt matter to me Ill go somewhere else. This place has become a big Catch and Relase and don't do this or that, you shouldn't thats bad, site Im done............


You all might as well jump the fence and start giving out plastic hooks and hug a tree

Thank you brother Amen! I don't keep every fish I catch, but If I take a fish by LEGAL means the I have the right to choose He snagged a carp, man! Legaly if he wanted to eat it thats his right......


By the the way nice catch fellas have fun and keep it up! We can use crossbows now but I haven't figured out how to mount a reel.........


Jiggin'fool I dont know if it was you or your buddy that snagged it so thats why I refered to you or him as "he"

Well, then just keep on keepin on. you still make me sick and haven't changed my opinion, just as I haven't changed yours. When you post your experiences and pictures on this or anyother website, you lend yourself to the opinions of others. I gave you mine, nothing more.

all kidding aside, I was out fishing the shoreline last night for walleye, and I accidentally snagged a huge carp on a husky jerk.....I didn't get it in, but I got it up to the surface out one point close enough to where I could tell what it was.......I would have loved to have got it in to at least see how big it was.....a few minutes later, my nephew accidentally snagged a smaller female (about 4-5 lbs), and when I went to net it a male jumped into the net with the snagged female....they must be spawning because that male WAS NOT leaving that female!!!!! it was pretty amazing!!!!

You make me sick ? Nice post .

Call the game warden on what ? Maybe before you call the game warden , you'll want to dry your eyes .
